Ayew: 'The Most Important Thing Is The Three Points.'

15 September 2018

Jordan Ayew started his 2nd Eagles game on Saturday afternoon in the victory against Huddersfield Town and he spoke afterwards about he pleased he was to be involved in a performance which saw Roy Hodgson's team travelling back south with all three points.

“I am pleased because we won today; the most important thing is the three points. I have been working really hard since I joined the club, today I did have an opportunity which I could have scored but it is only my second game and I feel I am going in the right direction but as I say it’s about the result and we needed the team performance today.”

Ayew was just one of those post-match who was admiring the quality of the winning goal from Wilfried Zaha but the quality of the finish didn’t take him by surprise.

“I am not surprised because I know how good he is, a top player and an important one for us. If he keeps on doing this then we will have a good season.”

His other Premier League appearance for the Eagles was in the match against Southampton but the striker spoke afterwards about how a change in formation meant a different role for him in this victory, which was a hard fought top flight encounter.

“Today the shape changed with a 4-3-3 formation but I don’t mind because I just want to be on the pitch and if I am given the opportunity I will give 100% for the team.

“I got a few knocks but that’s football, it’s a man’s game and you expect that with what my position demands and I don’t have any problem with that.”
